Researchers and professional research support staff are increasingly committed to open science but are not yet consistently rewarded for their contributions. There is broad consensus that the transition to open science should not rely solely on the motivation of individual researchers; it must become an integral part of institutional policy, including recruitment and promotion policies. Valuing open science practices is also a priority for the national Recognition & Rewards programme.

The national project ensures coordination and alignment between the 23 institutions in developing and implementing policy plans to recognise and reward open science practices in the Netherlands. The 23 institutions that have been awarded a grant are: Amsterdam University Medical Center, Delft University of Technology, Eindhoven University of Technology, Erasmus University Medical Center, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Leiden University, Leiden University Medical Center, Maastricht University, Nederlandse Levensbeschouwelijke Universiteiten (Kampen Theological University , Protestant Theological University, Theological University of Apeldoorn, University of Humanistic Studies), NOW-I (Foundation for Dutch Scientific Research Institutes), Open University of the Netherlands, Radboud University, Radboud University Medical Center, the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, Tilburg University, University of Groningen, University Medical Center Groningen, University Medical Center Utrecht, University of Amsterdam, University of Twente, Utrecht University, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Wageningen University & Research.

The project organises national mutual learning meetings to inspire each other, stimulate collaboration and exchange knowledge and experiences, including good practices. In addition, the project is committed to developing shared principles on the recognition and rewarding of open science.
